What's Next?
Those kids keep you busy! Bijou is made for quick and easy assembly. Your initial assembly takes just under an hour with a helping hand or two.
1. Set out your supplies
Ensure you have your Bijou Build kit and your pressure treated wood.
2. Choose Your Location
We recommend a relatively flat area, free of low-hanging branches or other obstructions. Also, choose a soft surface for staking.
3. Assemble Wood into Brackets
It helps to have a couple of adults in this step. See the product manual for more detailed instructions.
4. Attach panels
Easily attach your five Teslin panels in the order you’d like with the velcro straps provided.
5. Stake to the ground
Stake your Bijou Build to the ground to ensure everything stays put.
6. Play and Put Away
When you are done playing, remove the stakes, fold up the tent, and secure it with the included straps. We include easy to carry handles, so 2 adults (it's heavy!) can carry the Bijou to a new location or store it.
When you’re ready, just open the tent back up, stake it to the ground, and start your next great adventure!
